The locust flowers in the courtyard have fallen and grown again, and the young man who always carried Jiang Chunmian's preferences in his pocket has stopped at the age of eighteen forever (the male protagonist entered school one year late, and the female protagonist repeated the grade due to illness)
Fu Wennian was Jiang Chunmian's light. She was depressed and slow, and was a "wooden person" in the eyes of others, so he became her Doraemon. Remembering that she didn't like drinking water, he searched for nice-looking cups. Knowing that she was in poor health, he clumsily learned how to make soup. In order to help her with tutoring, he was willing to contradict the teacher. On the winter night when she stood on the rooftop, he held an orange lantern and said, "I like you and want to spend the rest of my life with you."
He pulled her out of the mud and made her a promise in the gardenia field, taking her to Beijing to watch the flag raising. But a sudden accident turned all the long days into a promise that could no longer be fulfilled.
Fu Shinian said he would take care of her for his brother, but he could never learn to recreate that tenderness that penetrated his bones. His care is a programmed duty, not love. Later, the Fu family moved to the south and never came back.
Many years later, the gray-haired Jiang Chunmian was guarding the faded rabbit cup and was asked by a child in the village, "Do you still miss him?" She looked at the distant mountains and smiled with relief: "I will carry his thoughts with me for the rest of my life."
The wind rolled up the pages of the diary, and the last line of writing was still clear—
I wish to exchange my life for my wife's peace, and to my wife's sleep.
This is a love between childhood sweethearts with two-way redemption, and it is also a journey of remembering youth for the rest of your life.
